Internet
in North Korea

According to national leader Kim Jong-Il, "I'm an Internet expert too. It's all
right to wire the industrial
zone only, but there are many problems if other regions of the
North are wired." [2]

Access is rare and limited; Reporters Without Borders
once described the nation as "the world’s worst Internet black
hole"[3] as
"Internet officially does not exist in the world’s most isolated
country, but a handful of privileged people are allowed to go
online through the phone
system (which is routed through China) or via satellite." [4]

The government's own sites are not in the .kp domain
and all are hosted outside Korea; the korea-dpr.com address,
operated by the Korea
Friendship Association for the government, resolves to
DINAHOSTING, a Spanish
provider, and the IP location is Germany.[5]
